Abstract

Hydration reactions in mass concrete during the forming stage are often required to be taken into account owing to its high heat release. During this stage, the heat released by hydration reaction at this stage has a great influence on the performance of the concrete structures. This chapter will focus on the key feature in DIANA numerical simulation of “business card”—hydration heat simulation. Based on the two numerical cases—concrete pipe gallery segments as well as square pile blocks in large volume—heat flow module and international common specifications are used via DIANA to study the influence of hydration reaction on the structure.
